I see people do it all the time(clone from fems) and have never seen anyone whose crops started to herm on them because the mother was a femmed seed or a clone of a femmed seed.if you plan on growing a plant from seed to harvest then choose a reputable breeder and go fem'd.
if you plan on growing a mother plant for cloning choose reg seeds as the stress caused by cloning a fem'd seed could trigger hermie tendancies.

That depends on how the breeder made them femmed. One way people do is cause 1 female to hermie and then pollinate another normal female with its pollen, which can be unstable. Another is to intentionally stress your plants by giving them an hour of light in the middle of the 12/12 dark period until you find a true female, a female that cant hermie through natural causes. Now apply some colodial silver or their is another chemical but i cant recall what it is, this will make your true female grow pollen sacks, which you allow to mature and then take the pollen from them to fertilize themselves, making pretty much an exact genetic copy of the mother. That way is really stable.hey I heard that regular seeds are better to buy than female seeds cause most female seeds hemoprodite si is regular seeds better to buy from the tude cause Ive had my share with female seeds that germ at all
i see it to. but currently have a NIRVANA PPP that has been topped once to develop 4mains and had approximately 10 clones cut from her during 11weeks veg. she just entered week 4 flowering and is popping NANA's so i opted to try DUTCH MASTER REVERSE for 10 days to see if NANA production stops as there is nothing it can be that has caused it, environment is perfect, pH is bang on, no harsh fans directed at it, EC in vs EC out tested each time, and zero light leaks.I see people do it all the time(clone from fems) and have never seen anyone whose crops started to herm on them because the mother was a femmed seed or a clone of a femmed seed.
have you grown out a set of clones from it yet and not had them go hermie at all yet? Like we discussed before femmed seeds that are made the first way or by using colodial silver on an untested female to grow balls to pollinate tself can carry the risk of unstable genetics and hermi due to no fault of your own. so i'd watch the clones real careful, i'd be somewhat surprised if they dont do it too.i see it to. but currently have a NIRVANA PPP that has been topped once to develop 4mains and had approximately 10 clones cut from her during 11weeks veg. she just entered week 4 flowering and is popping NANA's so i opted to try DUTCH MASTER REVERSE for 10 days to see if NANA production stops as there is nothing it can be that has caused it, environment is perfect, pH is bang on, no harsh fans directed at it, EC in vs EC out tested each time, and zero light leaks.
what you are talking about with unstressable mothers here in the UK we call XXX mothers and these clones if you can find any command big money.

got my eye on them.have you grown out a set of clones from it yet and not had them go hermie at all yet?

And why is that?Regardless of how the feminized seeds are made they will always suffer from inbreeding depression and lack of vigor. Not to mention they create a genetic bottle-neck. Normal seeds are the way to go.
Can you back that up? like show me a from non-femmed seed plant that has more "vigor" than its femmed counterpart......across multiple strains.Regardless of how the feminized seeds are made they will always suffer from inbreeding depression and lack of vigor.

fem seeds change the genetics just get reg seeds and clone from the best female..and go from there
Not sure where you two came up with this. Myth, myth, myth. I personally like normal seeds. Why keep buying beans when its easy to breed your own? But fems are nice for trying new genetics.Regardless of how the feminized seeds are made they will always suffer from inbreeding depression and lack of vigor.

Genetic-wise, whats the difference between crossing an afgahni male to a haze female and crossing a reverted afghani female with the same genes to the same haze female?
Except the issue with the seeds coming out all female.
